Let’s cut to the chase here people – South Africa is just one of those bucket list countries you HAVE to visit! Little known fact coming up, but South Africa was actually the first country I visited as a backpacker outside of Europe at the tender age of 19! It blew me away then and […]

I’m not going to keep on here, because somehow I feel I’m preaching to the converted now, but once again let me briefly reiterate Mallorca is not what you expect! At least, it’s not what I expected. Images of lobster-red, beer-swilling Europeans on package holidays be gone! And instead, please usher in upbeat cycling enthusiasts […]

Located at the top of the African continent, but feeling more culturally similar to its neighbours in the near Middle East across the Red Sea, Egypt is a country with filled with fascinating geographies, histories, people and cultures… especially when it comes to travelling!
